Question

Every square meter of solar paneling produces 0.2 kilowatts of electricity. Which of the following models this situation?


A) linear function with a negative rate of change
B) linear function with a positive rate of change
C) exponential decay function
D) exponential growth function

Answer 1

B.
Since each square meter of solar panel produces a constant number, it will be linear. And since the amount of electricity produced is increasing with each square meter added, it is increasing.
